Our recent stay at the Athens Holiday Inn Express was welcome as a stop over on our way home. This hotel met all our expectations that we generally have when selecting Holiday Inn Express.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by ecumenist Warm Welcome During a Cold Week
It was my first visit to Athens TN, and despite the unusually cold weather the people at Holiday Inn Express were generous and welcoming from the moment I walked in the door. Bright, spacious, clean, comfortable. The breakfast bar was kept stocked throughout the breakfast period. I was there for several days, and appreciated the guest laundry facilities. Lots of people around, but I never heard nighttime noise, and the black-out curtains kept the room dark. Thanks for a great stay!
